Great interview, Neil! For some reasons I thought Stuart was the guy in the first image. What a surprise at the end… 🤣 I love his attitude towards photographing people in the streets. And his photographs are wonderful! Would love to go for a walk in that area.
I really enjoyed that interview Neil, thank you. Stuart's images of The Barras are excellent, it looks like a really characterful place...and I have to agree about the cinematography of Paris, Texas - the colours are a rich feast that I never tire of!
Haha! I wouldn't say an area of expertise! I think words and images together captures just that - enough to make me want to visit it if I ever go to Glasgow 😊
Great piece, Neil. Lovely introduction to Stuart's work. I very much look forward to seeing what you will do yourself over the 12 months that you have set aside for this project!
I’m sure older people can’t keep up with or recognise the way photography has changed. I can sympathise with those who would prefer not to have their images out there for mass viewing.
I like looking at these photos… but I wouldn’t want to feature in one !
Why not? Why not embrace the fact that we looked a certain way at a certain time. We can have empathy for others and ourselves. Ego is the enemy of happiness.

Thank you! Do come! Someone else thought exactly the same thing so I might change the caption.

Thanks Lin. Not sure if my interview conveys how he captures the spirit of place and now I realise that this is your area of expertise!

Let me know if you ever make it here.
Wonderful piece. I love the rejection friendly rejection with the F bomb 🤣
Thanks Talya. Yes, it definitely makes me laugh at the idea of having a portrait proposal rejected.
Great article mate. I was reminded of Martin Parr too when I looked at some of his colour work.
Thank you! yes, very colourful indeed but very different relationship with people.
Loving Stuart's photos. I'd buy a book of those, black and white and colour.
Fingers crossed he’ll do one soon. There is a zine here https://bumpbooks.com/zines-1/stuart-edwards-glasgow
